Note: This song is less confusing if you understand that the first verse to be the girl's words to Collin and not Collin talking to the girl.  Plus calling the female gas attendent a man is weird, ain't it?

    LITTLE RED RODEO      Collin Raye
F                                          C
"Well I know it's said you've had time to think abut it
Bb
Looks like to me you're feeling kind of crowded
             F                     C
You're not looking for anything permanent here
        Bb                                        F C Bb C  F C Bb C
So my rodeo is packed and it's in goodbye gear."
      F                C
So I shot down to the Long Horn Diner
      Bb
Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her
F                      C
She said, You did not hear this from me
          Bb
All I'll say is Momma's got that place out in Monterey

CHORUS:
        G         C            G                   D     G
Oh how fast can I go  Got to catch that little red ro-de-o
      C                 G         C              D
She drove off with my heart I've got to let her know
    G                              D    G
I need the girl in the little red ro-de-o
        C                          G
Texas Plates Candy apple red ro-de-o

F                             C
Two towns back I showed your photograph
    Bb
The gas station man just started to laugh
            F                     C
She said I might see you in this old bucket of rust
           Bb
She said good luck boy just follow that cloud of dust


Chorus, lead,
C                                 G
Maybe I was straddling the fence just like she said
Bb                                             C
It took her leaving just to get it through my head
F                            C
She's the one and only It's over and that's it
       Bb
I'm committed, I'm in love, I'm desperate
         F                       C
She's a good ways gone but I'm closing the gap
      Bb
If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map

chorus, Yea, chorus, Yea, chorus
